In general, the event begins on Sunday at 7:00 AM. Its route will
take runners along Decatur Street and Esplanade Avenue. Vehicular
traffic along those corridors will be restricted, so area residents &
drivers should plan to avoid crossing those streets.

This evening, in the Lindy C. Boggs International Conference Center at the University of New Orleans, Maximo’s own head chef, Thomas Woods, along with two other noted local chefs, will be participating in Top Chef NOLA, a cook-off fundraiser benefiting New Beginnings School Foundation. Their mission is to raise awareness about the dangers of childhood obesity by promoting healthy eating all while supporting public education. Chefs will be preparing dishes of classic school lunch meals with an added gourmet twist. Earlier this week, Chef Woods was featured on channel 4 news to promote the event and performed an on-air cooking demonstration where he prepared his signature Chili Glazed Scallops.
We couldn’t be prouder…go get ‘em chef!

On Wednesday, July 28, a production will be filming at the corner of Decatur and Barracks. Parking along parts of those blocks will be restricted from noon to midnight. There may also be intermittent traffic closures on those blocks.

That’s the corner by Cafe Envie and the U.S. Mint. Does anyone know what they are filming?

Yep, that’s right folks, We’re doin’ it again! And all that’s required is a Black Tie! *Wink Wink Nudge Nudge*

All your favorites- Flogging, Spanking, Drinking and generalized Debauchery along with Glow-in-the-Dark Body Painting! And we’re even spraying down the St. Andrew’s Cross for a little glow action (the first time furniture will be used at this event!) So I guess now the only question is… What do you wanna do in the dark?
